Possessive Adjectives As you can see from the table there is only one word for his/her: son in the masculine, sa in the feminine and ses in the plural Ex: Sa table can mean his or her table (table is feminine) Son copain can mean his or her friend (copain is masculine) Ses amis can mean his or her friends (amis is plural) So there is no way of knowing who these things/people belong to. In French the important bit is to know whether the object is masculine or feminine.
